Are regular facials still beneficial if I am undergoing Q-Switch laser treatments?

Doctor's Answers 1

The simple answer to your question is : Yes.

Q switch nd-yag laser rejuvenation helps rejuvenate your skin from the inside by stimulating collagen production and controlling pigmentation. It has very minimal impact on the surface of the skin, unless you are using the laser to specifically remove light freckles.

Your skin is still going to be prone to dirt, dust, oil and foreign substances that will clog up your pores and lead to acne and skin deterioration. A proper facial would still be very useful if you wish to maintain your skin health and radiance in a holistic way.

Skin will require a combination of treatment to stay healthy. Laser alone is not going to do magic.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Dr Sii Sik Liong

Is PRP injection available for acne scarring in Singapore?

PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
